Slider not showing on plain TwentySeventeen theme

    I installed the plugin (yes this Slick Slider plugin, not that other one), and when I inspect the code it seems to be loading (all scripts loading fine, slider html showing in code, no errors, I see “current slide” changing in the code, etc) but none of the slider images are showing on the front-end. I can’t figure out why they’re just not showing up. Nothing is set to display:none or anything like that, so I can’t figure it out.

    Also, as the slider progresses in auto-play mode, I notice the scrollbar shrinks and the page gets very long—as if the slider is constantly loading things down the page. I’m not sure if this is related to the above problem or not, but I’d like the slider to behave like this website: https://photobybasia.com/ (I noticed she is using Slick Slider as well—bundled with a Flo theme).

    Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Hi @mozdzanowski,
    I’m not able to locate the slider on your website. “Home” is empty while “Portfolio” shows a native WordPress gallery but not a slider.

    Thanks for the reply. I ended up removing it because it wasn’t working. I’ve reactivated it now if you’d like to check it—on the homepage under the main featured image. I’ll have to remove it again in the morning (EST) but I’ll leave it up until then. Thanks.

    This is a known issue with slick (and btw not related to this plugin).

    All you need to do is to constrain your content’s width:

    .entry-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

    If this works for you please set this thread’s status to resolved. And if you want to do me a favor you can rate this plugin. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.

    I set the content to a max-width, and that made it show up, but unfortunately the slider just doesn’t work well on mobile(can’t advance slides by swipe, it keeps springing back to original slide, and then pauses the auto-play), and still needs a good amount of custom code to limit the height of the images, otherwise vertical/portrait images are considerably taller than landscape and the slider just looks weird. I’m going to have to try a different plugin or look into this one more later. Thanks for looking into it.
